Breast Augmentation Surgery is one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery in the UK and as with any procedure, it does carries risks. Our team are experienced in cases of breast surgery compensation.

The way breast augmentation surgery is performed is the breast implant is inserted into a pocket and placed in the outer layer of the chest wall or behind the breast tissue; thereafter the plastic surgeon performing the procedure will close the incision utilising adhesives, sutures and surgical tape to keep it closed.

There may be a number of complications with breast augmentation surgery, which indicate that the plastic surgeon or team treating you have been negligent, leading to a breast surgery compensation claim.

These complications can include:

An infection in the breast resulting in the need to remove the saline implant or other implant in order to treat it.

A requirement for revision surgery itself may point to the procedure having not been carried out effectively in the first place.

The implant may leak requiring you to have it removed.

There may be visible signs of the implant because creases or ripples appear.

There can be capsular contracture. This is where the layer of scar tissue that the body grows around the implant becomes hard or an unusual shape; this may become painful or swollen and again require removal or a revision operation.

A Haematoma which is a blood clot may occur.

You may experience loss of sensation in your nipples or lose nipples.

Frequently asked questions

How do I prove negligence and obtain compensation?

The treating surgeon and their team owe you a duty of care when carrying out a medical procedure of this type. It will be necessary for you to prove that there has been a breach of the duty you were owed and that this resulted in the problems you are now experiencing. The surgeon also has to advise you about possible complications that may occur and properly obtain your consent to the procedure.

Proving that the treatment provided fell below the required standard of care will often need a medical opinion and report.
